3.It will power and be powered from an IS12 instrument system.
4.It must be properly terminated.
The SimNet network has to be terminated according to the number and type of products connected.
In a small system consisting of maximum 5 SimNet products and a total length of 5 m SimNet cable you need the SimNet power cable with built in termination (red disc on cable plug).
For additional information about SimNet ask for the separate SimNet Manual.
